Accident Waiting to Happen

Lyrics for Accident Waiting to Happen

I've always been impressed with a girl Who could sing for her supper and get breakfast as well That's the way I am, heaven help me He said, we don't like peace campaigners 'round here As he nailed another one to the wall And that's what gets me in trouble, heaven help me Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken Your life has lost it's dignity, it's beauty and it's passion You're an accident waiting to happen There you are standing at the bar And you're giving me grief about the DDR And that chip on your shoulder gets bigger as you get older One of these night you're gonna get caught, It'll give you a pregnant pause for thought You're a dedicated swallower of fascism Time up and time out for all the liberties you've taken Time up and time out for all the friends that you've forsaken And if you choose to waste away like death is back in fashion You're an accident waiting to happen And my sins are so unoriginal I have all the self-loathing of a wolf in sheep's clothing In this carnival of carnivores, Heaven help me Goodbye and good luck to all the promises you've broken Goodbye and good luck to all the rubbish that you've spoken Your life has lost it's dignity, it's beauty and it's passion You're an accident waiting to happen You're an accident waiting to happen You're a dedicated swallower of fascism You're an accident waiting to happen
